Helpful Expert Reply:
To use for installing the 5 foot long X-Tracks that come included with the CargoSmart X-Track Cargo Organizer Pro Bundle # 3481788-P there's actually a nice hardware kit available with part # 3481783 that helps take out a lot of the guess work. Typically with tracks like these the exact hardware can depend on application but this kit includes what most likely will be needed for each track, including eight 1/4" x 3" Phillips head wood screws that let you mount the track to a solid surface and 16 toggle bolts that will let you mount it to a hollow wall.
There isn't a definitive number of bolts that are needed for each track (you don't need to use up every available mounting hole) but using what's included in this kit would certainly suffice. I have included a short video review as well so you can get a better idea of the contents.
